49ers defy the odds in NFC wild-card win over Eagles, advance to divisional round vs. Seahawks

The 49ers' magical opening touchdown drive Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field gave them an early lead, but the Eagles wore down San Francisco's already depleted defense and George Kittle tore his Achilles after that. Undeterred, the 49ers mounted an incredible fourth-quarter comeback that defied the odds and secured them a divisional-round matchup against the rival Seahawks. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down the wild-card performance from a very unlikely bunch of 49ers players, who gutted out a remarkable result in a hostile environment. The duo highlights the 49ers' season-long resiliency, especially in big moments, and address how Brock Purdy turned an otherwise forgettable performance around with his leadership and determination. Matt and Jennifer also discuss how the coaching staff has steered the ship as unsung contributors popped up throughout the season.
